Landscape Painting, Drawing and Monotype Printing Workshops
The 10 day workshop focuses on painting, drawing and painting ceramics directly from nature. Participants will improve their skills under the guidance of Ashley Frost who is an artist and experienced art educator. During the workshop Ashley will expose students to a variety of ideas and approaches with a mix of teaching demonstrations as well as informal discussions over meals in the evenings. Topics discussed include composition, colour, content, influences and the illusion of space. Learn and develop new skills in a beautiful and relaxed environment. Students will be able to set up their own studio space within the Quarters main hall with access from 6am-9pm each day. Each student will be supplied with a portable easel for the duration of the tour. Ceramics Workshop and Raku Firing The ceramics component will be lead by Broken Hill ceramicist and sculptor Lyndy Marshall and will available over two days. This event will be a perfect addition to the landscape painting combining images and a palette of colour from the incredible Fowlers Gap landscape.
